CT and intraoral scans help us assess your condition and plan through to the final restorations.
No registration needed. Your inquiry stays private, and we reply during clinic hours.
POSSELT · FULL ARCH
Implants and replacement teeth are counted separately.
- Dental implants
- These are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone.
- Replacement teeth
- These are the teeth in the restoration attached to the implants. The number of implants does not have to equal the number of teeth being replaced.
Planning the upper and lower arches
| Total implants | Upper implants | Lower implants | Replacement teeth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 10 | 8 | 28 |
| 14 | 8 | 6 | 24 |
The 14-implant, 24-tooth example does not include the second molars: one at the back of each side of the upper and lower arches.
Three segments in each arch
Each arch is divided into the front teeth, left posterior teeth and right posterior teeth. This means three sections in the upper arch and three in the lower, not three across both arches. The design takes the bite and access for cleaning into account.
These are planning examples. Remaining teeth, bone volume and condition, and the bite can change the number and arrangement. These counts should not be assumed for the individual cases below.
When conditions are suitable, six lower implants can support 12 teeth.
This is Dr. Lee’s minimum lower-arch planning example. His minimum upper-arch planning option uses seven implants. These are not universal minimums for every patient.
Retreatment starts by assessing what we can preserve.
After an examination, we identify whether the problem involves the crown or screw, or the implant and surrounding bone, assess what can be kept or repaired, and consider removal and replacement only when needed.

Examples of Dr. Lee's starting designs for both arches
Planning implant number and the structure
of the final teeth together.
Even when many teeth are missing, we first assess the remaining teeth and jawbone. We plan the implant support positions and final restoration together, then explain why the proposed design fits the findings.
Implant number, position and restoration design depend on teeth that can be retained, bone quantity and condition, nerve and sinus positions, biting forces and cleaning access beneath the restoration. Bone grafting, temporary and final restoration timing, visits and total duration are explained individually after diagnosis.
One design is not suitable for everyone. We do not promise same-day final teeth or immediate chewing for all patients. The actual full-arch record below is an individual case and does not mean every patient receives the same structure.
When an implant is uncomfortable, we first assess whether it can be retained.
Inflammation or discomfort does not automatically require removal. We assess gums, bone, stability and whether the restoration can be maintained, then explain options and reasons for maintenance, removal, bone grafting or revision surgery.
We observe oxygen saturation and breathing during sedation.
We review health, medications, allergies and treatment scope to assess sedation suitability. Oxygen support is prepared, oxygen saturation and breathing are observed, and a syringe pump controls the medication infusion rate. Afterward, we check recovery and give instructions for leaving with an accompanying adult.
Sedation has individual variations and risks including respiratory depression and low oxygen levels. Confirm fasting, medication and driving instructions with the clinic before visiting.
Sedation preparation & recovery guide →We explain included and potentially additional items separately.
Your individual estimate explains what is included or separate for examinations, implants and abutments, temporary and final restorations, bone grafting or additional care, sedation and maintenance. If planning a short visit, tell us your arrival, departure or available appointment dates first. Treatment stages and follow-up visits are determined after examination.

Restoring support on both sides with dental implants
Decay and missing back teeth had led to loss of posterior occlusal support. Implant-supported restorations were used to restore contact between the upper and lower back teeth on both sides.
View photographs and treatment stages →
Restoring right back teeth with implants and sinus grafting
After tooth loss, opposing teeth had overerupted and neighbouring teeth had tilted mesially, altering the bite. Treatment included extraction, upper-right bone grafting through a lateral approach, and staged implant-supported restoration of the upper and lower right posterior teeth.

How are surgical and restorative standards and fees determined?
Our approach to implant care
Teeth, bone and the final restoration.
First, a plan suited to you.
Implant treatment extends from surgery and final teeth to maintenance after healing. Detailed assessment guides the necessary surgery, materials, restoration form and bite together.
From surgical position to restoration
CT assesses bone, nerves and sinuses, while we plan the final tooth positions and biting relationships together.
A choice suited to your condition
We discuss implant and restoration materials according to gum and bone condition and treatment scope. Intraoral scans help check shape and bite.
With you after healing
We address discomfort and questions, explaining postoperative recovery, gums around restorations and regular checkups.
Treatment scope, materials, restorations, included items and fees are explained individually after diagnosis.
Let's discuss a plan for your teeth.
Tell us which area is uncomfortable and the care you would like. The clinic reviews your inquiry during opening hours and guides the consultation.
More about assessment, restorations & recovery care
Assessment · restorations · maintenance
For teeth that serve you over time,
we consider the whole plan from the start.
Before surgery · planning for the final teeth
We assess whether remaining teeth can be preserved and examine bone, nerves and surrounding structures on CT. Implant position and restorative space are planned together.
Completed restorations · checking shape and bite
Primescan 2 and TRIOS 5 record the teeth and gums for restoration design. We check final tooth shape and chewing relationships.
See intraoral scans & CAD records →After healing · checkups and hygiene
We assess postoperative pain, swelling and gums around restorations, and explain checkups and individual maintenance. If anxiety is considerable, we discuss conscious sedation suited to your health.

Questions before consultation
Common questions before a consultation
How do you explain implant fees?
Planning depends on the number of teeth to be restored, the need for bone grafting or sinus treatment, and implant and restoration materials. After diagnosis, we distinguish included items from additional treatment needs.
What do you assess at the first consultation?
We first assess whether remaining teeth can be preserved, the gums and bone, and the bite. After examination, we explain necessary surgery, materials, final restorations and ongoing maintenance, along with fees for the planned scope.
Does implant inflammation always mean removal and repeat surgery?
Inflammation does not always require removal. We assess gums, bone, implant stability and whether the restoration can be maintained. After diagnosis, we explain whether care can retain the implant or removal, bone grafting or revision should be considered.
Gum care & periodontal regeneration →If several teeth are missing, do I need the same number of implants?
The number of teeth restored and implants are not always the same. Full-arch planning considers teeth that can be retained, bone quantity and shape, implant position and distribution, the final restoration structure and cleaning access. Rather than fixing a number first, we examine your condition and explain a suitable plan.
Actual full-arch record: from surgery to final restorations →Can I chew on the day implants are placed?
Implant placement and the start of chewing with restorations are separate milestones. Timing depends on bone, gums, stability after placement, bone grafting and the restoration plan. Even with temporary teeth, permitted foods and use may differ; follow your individual instructions.
How are treatment duration and sedation decided?
Duration depends on bone and gum condition, grafting and healing progress. Conscious sedation is discussed after reviewing medications and health.
